Very exciting parts of the last TMRA conferences were the open-space sessions held at the end of both conference days. The open-space sessions are chaired by Lars Marius Garshol. An exhaustive report on the open space sessions is published in the Proceedings.
Besides the regular tracks, open-space sessions are foreseen as playgrounds for visionaries at both conference days. They provide slots for a more informal and instant exchange of ideas. Discuss your new ideas with the community!
What can I present? Anything (which might be of interest for the Topic Maps community). You will have 5 minutes for your statement and 5 minutes for the discussion.
How to get a slot at the open-space sessions? To register your statement for an open space session is straight forward: add your name on the list exposed at TMRA 2007 or chime in during the session.
What should I prepare? Please prepare ONE slide (PPT, PDF) which summarises your statement. Please bring this slide along on site with your memory stick.
As in the last years, a summarising report from the open-space sessions will be part of the Proceedings.
